Servings: 10 servings
Calories: 515kcal
Ingredients
- 3 pounds frozen meatballs pre-cooked
- 2 cups BBQ sauce
- 1 can (19 oz.) pineapple tidbits or chunks
- ⅓ cup soy sauce low sodium
- 50 grams dark brown sugar about ¼ cup
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
Garnish
- Green onions
Instructions
- Lightly grease the base of a crockpot and add in all ingredients.
- Set on LOW for 4 hours, stirring once or twice throughout.
- Garnish if desired and serve.
Notes
- Store leftover pineapple BBQ meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in the microwave, slow cooker, or on the stovetop.
- If the sauce is too thin for you, feel free to stir in a cornstarch slurry to thicken it up. I would do this during the last 30 minutes of cooking time.
- Allow the meatballs to cook with minimal disruptions. Stirring too often can break up the meatballs, and opening the lid can lead to uneven cooking.
